This superb edition contains two of Aristotle's greatest writings
in authoritative translations. The Rhetoric is translated by
Cambridge scholar John Henry Freese, and The Poetics is translated
by Oxford scholar of classics Ingram Bywater. Aristotle's legendary
treatise on speech explains and instructs on the powers of oratory
to move and persuade people. Composed amid the popular Greek
culture, in which aspiring and reigning politicians would perfect
the oratorical arts to influence voting and their subjects,
Rhetoric is a summation of an art whose poignancy and power could
change the face of an entire society. The Poetics of Aristotle sets
out the essential nature of drama and the performing arts. Each
chapter deals with a different element of drama and its
composition, discussing the process by which Greek society had come
to define its written literature.
